We are excited to invite you to the D.C. LGBTQ Bar Association February networking happy hour. Please join us on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Her Diner. These gatherings are an incredible chance for us to foster community amongst our many wonderful members, to welcome new attorneys and law students, and to learn from one another.
This month, we are especially proud to co-host this gathering with our valued partner O’Melveny & Myers LLP, which has helped lead the charge for LGBTQ+ rights at home and abroad. Just recently, O’Melveny has represented LGBTQ+ individuals in asylum and legal name-change cases in the United States, worked with co-counsel to secure a preliminary injunction against Georgia’s gender-affirming care ban, partnered with LGBTQ+ organizations like the National LGBTQ+ Bar (led by O’Melveny’s Director of Diversity and Engagement, Bendita Cynthia Malakia), and filed an amicus brief before the South Korean Supreme Court in a case that brought equality to same-sex couples’ national health insurance coverage. These are just a few of the ways the firm continues to advance rights and foster inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community.
Please feel free to invite any interested friends, colleagues, law students, legal interns, etc. We can’t wait to see you all soon!
